Couldn’t find this on their website so I am not sure if they sell it anymore…anyhow it’s interesting flavor tries to trick me! You see…when I first sipped it I thought I felt a bitterness come on but it quickly evened out. It ended up being a somewhat average strength and even taste. It took about 4 and a half minutes to unwind the cake…once it did it was SUPER dark! Comparable to the color of coffee.

It’s funny how its hit or miss with Jasmine. . . it goes against the senses for me. . .beautiful smell. . .but my brain tells me I shouldn’t be drinking something that smells like potpourri. . .i’ve actually held my nose as I drank a cup once, and it worked! Try it :-p

@EvaPeva- I used to think the very same thing. I remember making my 1st loose leaf purchase and exclaiming “I do not want anything rose… I don’t want do drink my grandma’s perfume.” but now I love jasmine and rose teas- I’m seeing jasmine flavored matcha in my future…=P

Well worded Cofftea. . . and yet I must admit i’m optimistic with every cup. . as a true tea drinker should be! I am still exploring the whole Jasmine field and find that the less tea I use, the better I can tolerate it. Rose is nice. . . .don’t mind rose at all. . . I think the problem was that I started out with VERY strong jasmine teas that shooed me away somewhat. . . . .any recommendations on some lite ones?

The Dry Leaf has a floral-tropical fruit type smell hidden under the green tea aroma.
The infused blend is very earthy smelling
The liquid is near clear
The tea taste itself is very refreshing and pure…juicy, even!

Lychees – yeah. Lychees! I have a love/hate relationship with them. I want to love them but have had mixed experiences with them. I had a raw-stand alone Lychee once and it tasted like paint thinner.
Anyhow…this tea is Nutty and Lychee-esque. Not much Black tea flavor. Not too sure about it…

It does smell fruity but it also tastes a little like glue…it’s that darned Lychee I tell you!

I love lychee tea…I have two different types and enjoy them on occasion. When you speak about paint thinner flavour…sometimes I find some Earl Grey tea so strong that it is almost toxic “paint thinner” taste/aroma…
